The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s federal election interference case, in an order late Thursday, denied the former president’s last-minute request to block the release of additional evidence gathered by special counsel Jack Smith.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said that the court will unseal, on Friday, the redacted appendix from the immunity motion filed earlier this month by Smith that included new details about Trump and his allies’ actions leading up to the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol.

In ruling that the evidence would be publicly released, Chutkan pushed back on Trump’s argument that the release was politically motivated to influence the 2024 presidential election.

    I don’t. I just get more and more sarcastic until my eyes roll back into my head and shoot into my brain and kill me.

    Seriously though, since becoming a parent I almost never truly lose my temper.

        My daughter didn’t shit for like 3 days after she was born and I was getting worried. Then one day, I was holding her out on the balcony and suddenly my hand was all wet. It all came out at once and a diaper was nowhere near enough.

        It definitely puts what you’ve had to deal with in life so far in perspective.

        And I’m a man. I imagine pushing that thing out of you does the same… although my wife is still pretty good at losing her temper.

      Kids do change many people. I think the last time I truly lost my temper I realized what a bad example I was being and haven’t really freaked out like that since.

        I lost my temper at my wife a while back. And for good reason. I almost never make a true request of her like I really need her to do something on a high level of importance that had to do with my mental health and she basically blew it off a couple of times. I was pissed off to the point of packing a bag and leaving.

        But that’s really rare.
